Last year, when Rare Device was but a twinkling in my eye, I talked to a woman named Denise about possibly finding shop space together. Well that didn't work out but I just found out that she has just opened her own store! It's called Beryl (named after her grandmother) and has limited hours for now, but is definitely open on the weekends. It's at 64 6th Ave near Bergen and Dean and will feature her own home decor designs plus other home accessories. Congrats, Denise!

In the press: more congrats to Jezebel and Ferdinand, whose greeting cards were featured in last weekend's Times style special.
